    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    They are all neutral evil. EDIT: I think the variant is that you get the full imp and some magic resistance. But you're trading your soul for the bargain. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    There are a couple of templates (half-dragon and vampire) that say what changes to make to a PC to give it the template. But there are no races with playable stats spelled out. I think it's not too difficult to reverse engineer something close, but that's what a DM would have to do. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) I for one hope we don't get "clarification" on many things.

    I've had a cat or two, but pretty much this. Thaumaturge.

    That explains why it was unfamiliar, my 1e collection is my smallest. Thaumaturge.

    And since we are on a slaadi roll, have there been control gems for slaadi in the past? Because there are, as a variant, now. If you rip out a control gem, you control the slaad. Thaumaturge.

    Dust, ice, and magma: 1/2 Mud, smoke, and steam: 1/4 There is an imp familiar option, which would be good for infernal pact. Imps are CR 1. Aberration. And, to answer Quickleaf, green, gray, and death slaadi are all aberration (shapechanger). Probably because of their ability to take the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player's Handbook Binding

    My suggestion, especially looking at your posted picture, go without for 2 weeks. If not, you're going to end up buying another before too long and being upset about the whole thing (at least I would). You could always buy a spare. It's nice to have a table copy around, if you can afford it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    "No" on demons, and a conditional "no" on anything else. I don't see it in a flip through, but that doesn't mean there isn't one or two hiding. I checked pixies (nothing), hags (night hag need magic/silver), and a few other places. I haven't seen any cold iron. Thaumaturge.

    My point was the quibble. Your point is valid. :p And, no, I'd no rather discuss chess than I would monopoly online. The creative variability of D&D is the attractive part. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Help me find the next campaign/adventure for my group

    I'm currently running a conversion of Ruins of Undermountain. There are some adventures in the box that make it more than just a dungeon crawl. A lot of the more story based 2e adventures seem to be for lower levels. A note on conversion from 2e: I'm playing it really easy. If a room says there...

    Apparently, some people. Who knew? :D Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Unlimited Reactions

    I think it'll slow combat down just a touch. And you're right characters with reaction defenses will be tougher to hit, if they burn through those resources faster. So if you have a party with a lot of wizards with shield and fighters with parry, you may have some workday issues. Or not. I'm...

    D&D 5E (2014) I for one hope we don't get "clarification" on many things.

    I think one of the issues for the last couple of editions is that WotC thought Organized Play either was the norm or should be. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) HOTDQ backgrounds

    With my group, just about everyone rolled on the custom bond table first, and they picked/modified backgrounds to fit the bond they rolled. One guy rolled the "You have a secret" bond, and he built his whole character around that idea. One recommendation I have is to not let people double up on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    I don't know how much of this is new. They are, in fact crazy spawning frog monsters. They originate from a Spawning Stone the modron Primus cast into Limbo. As such, they hate modrons and will attack them on sight. And they've still got the ability to lay eggs in your chest. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Missing Backgrounds

    Refluff the Outlander trait to be about underground passages? Never getting lost, able to memorize locales, and able to find food and water. Or he's more skilled at oil useage. Oil, and torches, last 1.5 times as long if a miner is tending them. Two others: Coal Lung: Your character dies at...

    D&D 5E (2014) Druid Flavor Help

    You're making druid, so be sure to use organic, pastured, raw, non-homogenized buttermilk. :erm: HE'S NOT A RACOON! :cool: Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Druid Flavor Help

    Easy. Take produce flame as your other cantrip. Describe those attacks as you shooting fire from your crossbow. You could even yell "Blam! Murdered you" each time you shot, if you were so inclined. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Druid Flavor Help

    Carry a small potted oak. Name the oak "Troot". In combat, cast shillelagh. Describe your attack as Troot growing and punching your opponents while you hold the pot. You should probably have him say a catch phrase. Also, you should be a gnome. But a really, really hairy one. With a long nose...

    D&D 5E (2014) Slow Rests: Anyone Tried It?

    Don't be too hard on yourself. I only thought of it because I'm running a 5e conversion of the original Ruins of Undermountain, so turns are very much on my mind. It can get confusing upon occasion, but, like most things, context makes the meaning clear more often than not. If a player says...
